13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT A BLACKBIRD - The Challenging Poetry of Wallace Stevens - Poetry Changes Lives
Welcome to Poetry Changes Lives - American Poet Wallace Stevens was extraordinary for being ordinary - an insurance company executive by day, a poet at other times. His work is unique, challenging and often witty too. His 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird' shows us how reality and perception work together and are not static. It is one of the iconic poems of the twentieth century. My Channel is for lovers of poetry and lovers of history. I try to show the power of poetry to inspire, comfort, teach and heal - as well as to entertain. This is for the whole poetry community - those who love to read, hear and write beautiful poems, both classic and modern. I love to talk about poetry and to show how great writing has the power to change our emotions and thereby, to change our thoughts and ultimately - our lives. For me, it's an endless voyage of discovery - I invite you along for the trip. Enjoying the content?
